People in and around Wakro circle in the Lohit district of Arunachal Pradesh have complained that leopards have been creating havoc in their locality for quite some time now. Your channel North East Live has accessed exclusive pictures and visuals of at least a couple of leopards on the prowl and preying upon domestic animals.

Sources said that the leopards might have strayed out of the adjacent Kamlang Wildlife Sanctuary in search of food as their natural habitats are shrinking every day due to massive deforestation.

People have approached the government for urgent steps to address the issue at the earliest.
